Urenco USA installed first centrifuges as part of the project to expand the capacity of the enrichment plant in Eunice, NM. The company confirmed that the the current phase of expansion will increase the capacity of the plant by 700 tonnes of SWU per year and that the cascades will become operational in 2025. The Eunice site "has the physical space and license to further expand its annual production up to 10 million SWU." The facility began operations in 2010.

The expansion is intended to take advantage of the Department of Energy program aimed at boosting the production of enriched uranium in the United States.
